• KE059-012 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, at the summit of a low hill. A raised circular area (diam. 34m) defined by concentric terraced scarps, some with traces of banks on top. The inner terraced scarp (H 1m) completely encloses the interior with slight traces of the bank on top of the NE-SE and SW-W arcs. The intervening terraced scarp (H 1.2m) SE-N also has traces of the bank along the SW-W arc. The outer terraced scarp (H 1.1m) is visible SE-SW. The level areas between the scarps vary in width from 2m to 4m. The interior is level. An E-W field boundary tangentially abuts the rath at N. A stony deposit on top of the E arc of the inner scarp may be due to field clearance. The rath is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m). It is indicated on the 1894 OS 6-inch map as a roughly oval raised area (c. 35m N-S; c. 30m E-W) with an arc of hachures S-N depicting a terrace along the W half. The rath was recorded in the 1840s as 'Kilbreanbeg Fort' in the NW end of the townland (OSNB, Kilcummin, no. 2, 21). A second rath (KE059-011----) lies c. 250m to the WNW on the opposite side of the river.

• KE059-022 Architectural fragment
  Description

  A thin slab of carved limestone (0.4m x 0.29m; T 0.07m) was discovered in the chimney breast of a cottage when the cottage was demolished; the slab was later used as the pivot stone for a gate. The stone is damaged but enough survives to show it was the end-stone in a flat-arched fireplace mantle. The decoration consists of a shallow recessed panel with ovolo borders, outlining the L-shape of the stone. There is a roll on the inside edge of the angle. The style is late16th/early 17th-century in date and it probably came from a tower house or a fortified house though none survive in the area where the stone was discovered. It is now in private ownership. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork. Date of upload: 31 January 2011

• KE059-035 Standing stone - pair
  Description

  In pasture, on an elevation with views in all directions. Two upright stones, 2.4m apart and aligned N-S. The N stone (L 0.8m; T 0.7m; H 1.6m) is the smaller and more rounded of the two. The S stone is split into two parallel parts: the larger portion (L 1.05m; T 0.4m; H 2.39m) is upright and the smaller part (L 0.96m; T 0.25m; H 1.8m) leans to the W and is supported by a smaller stone.
